So Kiffin is staying put?

 

[252BAMA]

Rumor is that Sark called the second half of the Auburn game and Kiffin was told today he would not be retained for next season. And that SECCG is his last game.

FWIW - I couldn't find the report from Aaron Fentress or any other report that looked legit. Volnation does have a very active thread talking about this. They lost 3 commits tonight and their University airplane made two trips from Knoxville to Purdue, according to them. So, right now it looks like a lot of speculation. Nothing official yet.

Speaking of planes... When I left the Muscle Shoals airport at 7am Monday morning, one of Arkansas' planes was parked there, with the covers over the jet engines like it had been there a day or two. Wasn't there when I landed Thanksgiving morning. Thought it was interesting they were there over that weekend.

Don't believe that stuff, I called the second half of the Auburn game. I just told Hurts, "Run the dang ball!!" After the game I told CNS I was available the rest of the season for no charge.

So what you're saying is Kiffin is about to get a 3-year extension?

Kiffin may be out the door but there is a 0% chance that happened.

He might have called it, but nobody heard it. In his current position, his headset doesn't have a microphone. He can only listen and observe during the games. Zero communication.

No charge? Most likely triple your salary and you might get hired as a killer deal and helping stay way under budget! Both sides win@

Not to mention that it would have been a MASSIVE rules violation had he called the second half.

BamaHammer.com saying Kiffin is emerging as a candidate for the Houston job. Also said that Les Miles was on their list too!:shock:

Did he even leave the press box? seems unless he left early, he would need a bit of time to get down to dressing room. Unless he got on the phone (conference call?) But I would wonder what the rules say about and analyst having conversations with the on field staff during the half time activities?
Understand that he is not "connected" during the game, but just wondering about an in person visit or conference call during breaks?

Sark isn't allowed to communicate with coaches during the game. He can only listen.

 

[UAgrad93]

People saying that Sark called plays in the 2nd half, really haven't watched BAMA much this year. We have all bitched and moaned about Kiffin in the 1st half and his sideline to sideline play calls and lack of running straight at someone. He has done it all season long. I recall a big discussion on here following the Ole Piss game.
Everyone has also pointed out the fact that analysts can listen to the sideline chatter but they don't have a mic to respond. I doubt very seriously that Saban would say "To hell with NCAA rules and sanctions! We're going to beat these undermanned Barners!"

If Houston is looking at Les then they must be tired of scoring all those points.

Coach BB was at Sam's Sports Bar Monday evening.

Maybe they want to stop other teams from scoring for once.

I ain even much worried about Kiffin... Cochran, on the other hand, him I maybe just a little worried 'bout...

Imo, Cochran deserves a huge raise. I think he is a huge part of our success

 

[Blondeatlas]

I am more worried about Coach Tosh. Hell of a recruiter, and the players love him.

He got a huge bump last year because Kirby was trying to take him to Georgia.
If memory serves me correct he went from about 275k a year to 550k a year. He makes more money than a lot of Div 1 head coaches.
